You used my photo of the soccer stadium up close without crediting it.
What an amazing place and those views! I captured a screenshot of what was on my desktop yesterday to show my partner. He was just as amazed as I was. We started doing some research…found this site! This is a great example of a country, a people who came together and decided to invest in itself for health and happiness. Bravo! Too often, we see these incredible places (think white sandy beaches) with no to little health-intended infrastructure like sidewalks, bike lanes, hiking trails, sports complexes….nothing! The place is beautiful, but the people are slowly dying. And that’s terrible!
So, again…kudos to Norway and the people of Henningsvær!
